Introductions Please...

My name is Angie and we have a daughter Sophia, 7 years old, who is a total handful..I have been documenting stories for years about her antics and finally have decided to put them in a blog. I get stopped all the time by people who tell me they go on FB just to see what she has been up to lately. I hope you enjoy them as much as everyone else does. :)

Did that REALLY happen?

Sophia loves our puppy Gizmo so much which is wonderful as she has been terrified of animals up until we got him. We have been letting him sleep at the foot of our bed for the past few nights because he has been barking at bedtime. Sophia wanted him to sleep with her last night so we pushed her bed to the wall so he wouldn't be kicked out accidentally as she is a rough sleeper and got them both to bed. 30 minutes later he is barking because it is early for him and he wasn't ready for bed. So of course this wakes her up and she brings him downstairs. I tell her "I will bring him up when everyone is ready for bed that way he won't bark if he hears us downstairs. I pinkie promise." So it is time for bed and Gizmo is passed out under the coffee table. Since he is so asleep, I put him in his crate and go to bed. I want him sleeping in his crate really. Not everyone's bed. At 1:15 am, Sophia storms in my bedroom wakes us up yelling, "YOU DIDN'T PUT GIZMO IN MY BED!! AND YOU PINKIE PROMISED!!!!" I don't remember what I said or how I got her back to bed but she got there without the dog. I asked Kevin if he remembered that and he said.."That really happened?? I thought I dreamed that.." More like nightmare..Needless to say, I am a little wiped out today. Thank you Sophia..

Corn in the Cop

Sophia was begging me to make 'Corn in the Cop' tonight. She asked Steven if he could eat that and then she gives a demonstration of munching on corn on the cob  She said, "If you can't, mom will cut the corn off the cop for you." :) Poor Cop..

Goat Chocolate

Sophia asked me if she could have some Goat Chocolate. Of course there was a confused expression on my face then she showed me a cup of Jello MOUSSE that she wanted..hahaha!! Moose/Goat..it's all the same right??"

Yes, No..Maybe so..

On the way to Steven's band concert, Sophia informed me it was "Yes Day". Then she starts asking questions. "Can we go out to eat Mexican food for dinner?" No, "Can we stop on the way home and get me some candy?" No, then she says, "This isn't working out. Tomorrow is "No Day" and THAT is when you are SUPPOSED to say no."

Money, money, money..

Sophia asked me this weekend when we were going to win the Lottery. We don't play the lottery so I am not sure how she got that in her head. She wants to spend some money I think...

We aren't in Kansas!

It is going to be an interesting night. Tornado alarms, hail, severe thunderstorms..oh my! I just need a little dog, pale blue checked outfit, and some ruby red shoes. Sophia is turning into Steve Martin from the Jerk.."All I need is this blanket. All I need is this blanket and this stuffed animal...All I need is.." You get the picture. Now her teddy bear is screaming for his life..yep..gonna be a long night..
